About once in so often the dismal
howl reverberates around the state
that " farming is played out in Yer
mont" Then the young men start
in shoals for the West, where all
they have to do ls to raise wheat at
a dollar a bushel and own ten
thousand acre farm clear in five
years. The land there is erich, and
requires no fertilizer" churches,
schools, stores, banks and everything
in the line of necessities or even lux
uries are right within reach, the eli
mate is grand, even sublime and all
nature seems to smile. This is one
side of it, for the other side, read the
daily papers. Farming is not "played
out in Vermont" the farms are not
worn out. The state of Vermont is
an agricultural State, if anything,
and it is not in the position of an old
man who has outlivcd his usefulness,
is broken down and is neglected to
end his days in the poorhouse. AS
to an agricultural and produce pro.
ducing state Vermont is not dead
nor yet sleeping. 1t is not perma
nentlY worn out. 1t has not outlived
its usefulness. Many farms have
been seriously injured and product
i've capacity impaired by ignorant
and careless farming, but the land il
not to blame. Farming is a profes
sion, and ignorant and shiftles

Che GsseS County 9erala,
ISLAND POND, MARCH rs, 1887.

Again &c call attention to the
special town meeting to be held on
Saturday of this week for the fol,
lowing purposc:
ITO see if the town will vote to
exempt from taxation for the term
Of five years, as provided in chap. 90,
sec. 273 of the revised laws Of Vermont
as amended A. D., 1884, land, build
ings, machinery, and stock Of ma
chine shop and foundry, providing
Messrs. Sleeper & Arkhurst of Coati-
cook, p. O., or any person or persons
will erect and operate said machine
shop and foundry within the limits of
Island Pond village, for the term of
five years above mentioned"
We DO so that the voters may act
upon due deliberation. If anything
can be done to send the life blood
into any artery of business, or to
put in motion any part of business
faculties, enterprise would seem to
suggest that we do it. Inertia in
some of our business departments is
like so many mortgages, with fast
acCruing interest, upon all our bust
ness energies. The introduction Of
any new business or enterprise in a
community invites to activity many
others, and, per contra, the suppress
sion of one drives away others. To
apply to the case in hand. 1t is
proposed that we exempt from tax
alton for a number of years a ma
chine shop and foundry, new in
dustry to our town. Is the move a
wise one? On the one side, to ex-
empt property from taxation is tax
ing so much from the contributions
to the fund which supports society,
and should be done only for good
cause. On the other hand, if this
new enterprise IS conducted on a
live basis, land we are certain it viii
hey large additions can be made tc
it's value, and consequently to the
wealth of the town; as a result, al
the expiration of its exemption il
will yield all the more in taxes tc
tighten the public burdens. There
fore we think the move a wise one
and trust the voters will so declare

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail to

to the latest combination of improve

with the license ofhosr. For this gave
him $40, and l did not pay any license
for about three months.
Since this trouble one Of the license
men sent Mr.. Stewart to me and told me
he would give me $50 dollars or pay my
license for the balance Of the year if
would not say anything about this, but I
think it is time such things were stopped"
Bert L. Braddock, an eyewitness Of the
clubbing, said: II was standing on the
street when Mahoney crossed over. He
saw the officers and said, 'How's tricks!'
He no more than got it out Of his mouth
than Bennett jumped on him and struck
him with the club, and then Slade, the
special policeman for the railroad, hit
him. He then fell down and they both Of
them kicked and clubbed him. While
they we're beating him, Slade said, "Give
it to him with the club; take your revenge
out Of him.
They then dragged him to the station,
came back and took drink Of whiskey,
and then went down and let him ont again.
Mahoney was perfectly sober at the time"
Jerry Mahoney said: my aunt asked
me to 60 across the street and call one Of
the boarders, as she wished to close up.
I started across the street, and when got
over I saw the policeman and said, Hello!
How's trickss' Without saying word
Bennett sprung on me and struck me be-
tween the eyes with the club. About the
same time Slade said, Give it to him with
the club; take your revenge out of him.
He then started TO club me too, and
when fell they kicked and dubbed me.
They took me to the station, and in about
fifteen minutes Bennett came back and
said; Jerry, would you like to get outf'
I said, Yes and he let me out. My aunt
put up 10.

have preferred charges against Ben
nett; he has sent men to me to try to buy
me of. One man offered me $50, and
another suit Of clothes, if I would quit,
but said no."
Mahoney's face still bears traces of his
severe beating His left eye is bloodshot,
large scar is on the bridge of his nose,
and his front teeth are still loose.
Mahoney states that he was suffering so
intensely from his injuries that he was un-
able to appear in the police court on the
morning following the assault, and the So
bail deposited for his appearance was for,

His OK II Cord.

To-days (sunday's) paper contains an
account of an indignation meeting held
last night at the city hall to protest
against Contractor Richardson running a
railroad on one of the Capitol Hill streets
to carry his convict-cut stone for the state
building.
A little over year ago when the con-
tract for said building was about to be let
the mechanics of Denver, through the
Trades Assembly, spent time and money
in looking up and tracing Mr.. Richard
sons record, and showed conclusively that
he was an unfit person to be entrusted
with SO important contract, being an
employer of scab and convict labor and
an untrustworthy contractor.
1t is an old adage, but none the less
true: "An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure"
If these men who are new protesting
and asking the aid of the workingmen to
defeat this railroad job had supported and
upheld them in their just demands, the
assurance of one of the commissioners,
given before public audience in McClel-
land Hall, "That there was no fear of
Richardson getting the contract as he was
a man of straw" would have been fulfilled
and there would have been no need of this
Anarchistic outbreak of Winchesters and
vigilance committees.
Verify it makes difference whose OK Is
gored. j. d.
